Sade will be embarking on their first world tour in 10 years, starting April 29th in Nice, France. They will then tour throughout Europe until the end of May, moving along to Canada and the United States in June, July, and August.
In a recent interview, Sade revealed how lucky she feels that they were able to just come out after 10 years and have the same platform they used to have. She also discusses how "Soldier of Love" is different from the previous albums. The band and her are very excited to go back on tour, and there will definitely be some surprises! She also revealed that her favorite songs to perform live are "Cherish" and "Pear".
Check out the video below to view the entire interview.
The group Sade have invited John Legend to accompany them during their entire tour. The tour which supports their last album "Soldier of Love", will launch in Baltimore, June 16th. The tour will take the band to the United States, Canada, and Europe.
"I'm very excited to join Sade on her summer tour. She is an incomparable artist and I'm honored to share the stage with her," Legend said in a statement Tuesday. "I know we'll provide our fans with an experience to remember. I can't wait to start the tour."

However, it wasn't the fact of Alicia Keysperforming with Sade that blew me away (I lie. It blew me partly away) but the fact that Jennifer Hudson's makeup and hair looked like this!
I think it's only fair that we get a closer look at it:
Due to my extensive stalker-like research on Twitter, I found that her makeup look was created by none other than the amazing Sam Fine! He twitpic'd this photo of her getting the finishing touches added to her hair before hitting the red carpet at the event:
Not only is that body banging (get it Jennifer!) but you have to admit that she did a complete 360 from the beauty looks of her early days. Here she is at the event last year in London:
Wouldn't you agree, Glamazons? But, back to the dark berry color above: not only is it the perfect shade for her skin tone, but it's also the perfect lipstick shade for fall. Ooooweee! Talk about some beauty inspiration. I looove this! As a result, I've been going through my collection of berry lipsticks and debating as to which shade I should start rocking. While I do that, you should totally check out (and buy!) some of my current faves on the market right now:
What do you think, Glamazons? Do you love this lipstick shade on Jennifer just as much as I do?! Who else plans on rocking the berry lipstick look this fall as well?
The stars were out for yesterday's Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, and I have to say this is one event I hate to have missed! Not that I had money for the ticket which I heard cost $50,000 a seat! And not that I was terribly bored yesterday (I was hanging out in Miami for a blogger event I threw for my job! But more on that later...).
I'm mad I missed it because Sade and Alicia Keys performed one of my favorite songs, "Love is Stronger than Pride." Sigh. Live vicariously like me through the video below.
The red carpet was just as exciting! Check out the looks I loved below and vote for your favorite!
Beyonce wore a fuschia gown by Andrew GN which featured a sweetheart neckline and draping at the waist. Not a fan of the color, but love the natural makeup on her.
Alicia Keys chose a gray printed gown with gathering around her baby bump.
These two stay with the Sears photo poses. Cute (I guess).
Jennifer Hudson showed off her svelte figure in a velvet, curve-hugging dress, strappy stilettos and sexy, dark lips. Gorgeous!
Whitney Houston gave us a head of wild, unkempt curls and a short black dress. She was...umm...animated on the red carpet. Not her best moment.
Uma Thurman wore a burgundy gown with asymmetric stripes around the waist, a crystal brooch and clutch and a leopard print cardigan. Yikes. Not elegant or polished at all.
June Ambrose continued her turban moment from New York Fashion Week in a black turban and a gown with a sequined black top and blue skirt with floral embroidery. What a fun, high-fashion and exciting look! I'm a fan.
Sade stole the spotlight (in my opinion) in a white gown with a plunging neckline and diamond embellishment. She paired it with her signature flowing black locks and siren red lips. Does it get more beautiful than this?
Vote for your favorite: Who was MOST GLAM?
